What if you had lived your life differently?

What if you'd just slung a backpack over your shoulder and traveled to some far away place?

In the early seventies, many young people sought to create their own natural paradise outside the borders of the United States.

This is the story of one such expatriated American, a starry-eyed wild child who searches for a fantasy lifestyle and gets more than she bargains for.

Full of poignant moral dilemma, it is a story of one woman's survival, of exceptional courage, strength in overcoming adversity, spiritual growth, and eventual triumph.

This powerful new book, an exposé of unspeakable domestic violence against a contrasting backdrop of magnificent tropical splendor, is getting rave reviews and gathering momentum as a groundbreaking literary work.

"In addition to its entertainment value as a great adventure story, my primary focus in Belize Survivor:  Darker Side of Paradise is to inspire other women to make the brave and often impossibly painful choices which will ultimately lead to their own redemption and autonomy. And although these choices are critical, they often come at a nearly unsustainable cost. Nevertheless, the price of inaction can be deadly. My overall intent is to reaffirm the courageous spirit of the underdog, and celebrate the unquenchable inner spark of humanity."  ~ N.K.

An exciting adventure story for vicarious armchair explorers and ex-rebels who once renounced society and, later, ended up joining it.

Few people search for adventure in the classic sense as most prefer to seek their rewards through traditional vocations. But in the springtime of youth when the path beckons and the passion for life runs hot — who can then foresee which choices will assure our mortal happiness and spiritual fulfillment?
